FAQs
What is EVA material?
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a high-quality, lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbent synthetic material. It's also waterproof and extremely durable, making it perfect for active footwear like these sandals.
Are these sandals waterproof?
Yes, thanks to their EVA construction, these Birkenstock Milano Eva Sandals are completely waterproof. They are perfect for wearing in wet conditions, at the beach, or by the pool.
How do I clean these sandals?
You can easily clean them by wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap, or rinsing them under cool water. Always let them air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, these sandals feature three adjustable straps with buckles (two over the forefoot and one around the ankle) to ensure a secure and customized fit for your child's foot.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
While made from EVA, these sandals feature an anatomically shaped footbed that provides good foundational support and cushioning, contributing to comfort and natural foot alignment.
What age group are these sandals for?
These specific sandals are designed for kids, tailored for a UK children's foot size 12.
Can my child wear these sandals all day?
Yes, their lightweight and comfortable design, combined with the supportive footbed, makes them suitable for extended wear throughout the day for most children.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckles on all three straps until the sandal feels secure but comfortable. Ensure your child's foot is centered on the footbed.
Sandal feels uncomfortable or causes rubbing
Ensure the straps are not overtightened. It's common for new footwear to require a short 'break-in' period. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate the size or consult a foot specialist.
Sandals are getting dirty quickly or have an odor
Clean the sandals regularly using mild soap and cool water, paying attention to the footbed. Ensure they are fully air-dried after cleaning and use. For odors, baking soda can be sprinkled on the footbed overnight, then brushed off.
Sandal appears to be shrinking or warping
EVA material can be sensitive to extreme heat. Avoid leaving sandals in direct sunlight, hot cars, or near heat sources. Store them in a cool, dry place. If significant warping occurs, it may not be reversible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unpack: Remove sandals from packaging.
Adjust Straps: Unbuckle all three straps. Have your child place their foot in the sandal, ensuring their heel sits comfortably in the heel cup and toes do not hit the front rim. Adjust the two forefoot straps and the ankle strap to achieve a snug, secure fit without being too tight. The straps should hold the foot firmly without restricting movement or causing pressure points.
Compatibility
Age Group: These sandals are designed for kids.
Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all children.
Size: Specifically UK Children's Size 12.
Care
Cleaning: To clean your EVA sandals, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, you can rinse them under cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the material.
Drying: Allow the sandals to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or extreme heat. Do not place them in a washing machine or dryer.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or hot cars for extended periods, as high temperatures can cause the EVA material to shrink or warp.
General Maintenance: Regularly check the buckles and straps to ensure they are clean and functioning correctly. Trim any loose threads if necessary.
